I believe the phrase "similar to Pib" was unfortunately chosen for
Package Browser, the only resemblance to Pib is that it has a similar
"look" of the UI.
Extending Pib or including Pib into Package Browser are certainly
interesting ideas, but PB is in an too early development stage to
talk about this. Second, it is a task i'm not up to yet (me speaky
da Tickle only for two weeks now ;-). Third, why want to glue the two
together? PB will have a button to launch Pib 8-) and you can use both
tools on the same screen without any problems.

FYI: I've updated the file on the web, the browser now actually
works 8-).
